The Lamentation of Lolth - Chapter II

[Verbatim]

Stopping everyone short before they entered the yard, Ayden pointed once more to his mauled shoulder.

"When I left...staff had been stopped...dog was still...attacking us...came for you...to help stop Mayor Applebottom...We didn't...want this fight Sheriff...They brought it...upon us."

Mosslime takes in the scene with some confusion not really sure why the mayor would start attacking them for no apparent reason. Lucky he had spent enough time around the mayor to know his scent. A scent he now tracks and hunts for.

OOC: Improved Sent, Non-lethal, if possible, claw attacks if for some reason mayor is close.

Calenthang rolls his eyes at the thought of another cleverly placed booby trap and eyes his surroundings suspiciously before entering the next door.

OOC: Bro - I'm not sure what you mean by that post. Unless it could be an older post that the server has finally decided to spit up, the mayor has been attacking the party since the beginning of the fight, and has been in the window the whole time.

Trond stares slack-jawed at Ayden's accusation of the mayor. "I don't believe it," he exclaims. He gently pushes past Ayden as he enters the courtyard and gapes at the carnage in front of him. The three dogs lay slaughtered and strewn across the garden along with Adrian and Simon. Trond's gaze is then drawn to Osborne. "Mayor Applebottom! What is the meaning of this?!" Osborne turns to glare at Trond, swears loudly, and replies, "Trond! Arrest these people! They murdered Adrian and Simon. One of them's in the house too! They're coming for me!" Trond stares dumbfounded not sure what to believe.

Calenthang decides the door is safe and opens it as he enters the next room. This room contains two sets of double bunks, one set smaller than the other. The wall by the smaller bunks is festooned with crude etchings of halfing actresses in various states of undress. Two lockers stand beside the bunks. A door leads off to the east.

nevermind this took it OOC. (Darn boards where slow.)

Holding his head in his hand laughing, Calenthang continues past the pictures and lockers to the door to the east and enters. Halflings!

Calenthang enters into what must be the mayor's dining room. The rom contains a polished mahogany table and eight sturdy chairs. The table is set for three, all together at the northern end, with fine silver cutlery. A painting of Osborne as a chubby baby naked on a fur rug hangs over a stone fireplace. There is a small door in the east wall, and another in the north, the latter leading outside.

Calenthang enters the room and looks at the painting. He puts his hand on the door frame for support against the raucous laughing that proceeds. "Who flaunts their baby picture!?!" Finding some composure he goes to the door that leads outside.

Calenthang pokes his head out the door, confirming it is indeed the back entrance that Drogo is guarding.

Drogo

Drogo waves, and shouts, "How's it going?"

Hearing the mayor and Trond shouting, Drogo sighs. "I knew this would happen..." he mutters. He urges Rex to the rear door, and tells him "Guard." He then returns to the front. He approaches Trond.

"The mayor attacked us, saying we knew too much. You must be patient and explore this. I'm sure the evidence must point to the mayor's involvement if we take the time to study it. Otherwise, he wouldn't have blown his cover to attack us in the way."

OOC Rex knows the trick "Guard" meaning:
Guard (DC 20): The animal stays in place and prevents others from approaching.

I assume this could mean he would attack the mayor if he tries to exit.
